An incredible interactive four billion pixel image of Mt. Everest has been created by filmmaker David Breashears and non-profit organisation GlacierWorks to highlight the effect of climate change on the area surrounding Mt. Everest. In the Daily Mail article you can zoom into the image as if you were actually there on the mountain…

The astonishing image was created from 477 individual photographs of the Khumbu glacier, captured by David Breashears during the spring of 2012, from the Pumori viewpoint near Mt. Everest.  The team also produced stunning ‘then and now’ pictures to show the effect climate change on the area since 1921.

It is an astonishing image that shows the beauty and majesty of the Himalaya region.

This picture is zoomed in just to show the peak of Mt. Everest – and the picture is still clear.
